I couldn’t be more excited about this episode where me and Mike Herbert (fellow PLG agent) head up to Montecito CA, to take a listing on the famous ‘Tea Gardens’. It’s located in a super exclusive area where Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres and other super celebs live. We had the privilege of visiting this one-of-a-kind 350-ACRE property, which is just unheard of today. It’s enormous, the epitome of private and magical.

It also has an amazing history; built in 1914 and it’s located next door to the former estate of Gene Hackman. The owners used to have tea at the top of the property under massive arches (which is how it got it’s name) and would watch water ballet in an amphitheater set lower on the land. I can go on record saying that this is truly the ultimate gem of a property. I’ve never seen anything like it, I’m not sure if I’ll ever see anything like it again and I may have even frothed at the mouth while taking the tour.

This was an incredible day filled with breathtaking views, great company, surf watching AND ended with a text… As we were heading home we found out that we got the listing for a little over 53 million! What a huge feat for PLG. It was a perfect way to finish a perfect Friday!
